<p>^^ Is that the one Taylor Swift just cut? If so, I LOVE it!</p>
<p>Jingle Bell Rock is like nails on a chalk board to my ears. In junior high, every December we did the same old dance to it in gym class. The song would be played again and again. For the kids who couldn’t get enough of it, they could go to the gymnasium over lunch and dance to it.</p>
<p>I like most of the other Christmas songs mentioned. I’ve never heard the Hippo song though. I’ll have to look that one up.</p>
<p>One more: My son hates Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” I love to turn it up really loud to annoy him. I’m not an MC fan, but I think it’s kinda cheery and bouncy.</p>
<p>I also hate hate hate Christmas Shoes. My kids take voice lessons and at least one person kid it at every voice recital. But get this - last year at the Christmas Eve service, our pastor told the story of *Christmas Shoes *in his sermon, like it was a real story of Christian love or something. I rolled my eyes so many times they almost got stuck.</p>
<p>Baby it’s cold out side with a large assortment of duets who don’t actually need to sing the song, but just talk it through adding their own ‘take’ like an older years Sinatra!</p>
<p>If my husband starts with the hippo song one more time, I may come at him with pinking shears! And, I believe it’ll be justifiable … :()
I’ve been reduced to diversion; I mention “green acres.” That’s the name of a little place we used to drive by all the time, and I knew the minute he saw the sign that he’d break into “green acres is the place for me … farm livin’s … yada, yada” Sad, but true … I actually direct him back there so that the poor hippo can sleep awhile. ;)</p>

<p>Taylor Swift remade “Last Christmas” ? Oh gosh.</p>
<p>I can’t stand any version of “I’ll have a blue Christmas…” All remind of the Elvis version, and I am no Elvis fan.</p>
<p>Don’t know the name of it, but the song is a spoof of the 12 days of Christmas w/each day representing some dreadful feature of the holiday, “rigging the lights”, hangover, Christmas cards, etc. PLUS, it gets stuck in my head no matter how quickly I change the station when it comes on.</p>
<p>My favs, though, are TSO. Can’t get enough TSO for a month or so.</p>
<p>I think the absolute worst is the Porky Pig rendition of “Blue Christmas” and a close second is the dogs barking “Jingle Bells.”
neither of which, thankfully, I have heard this year.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>me too. And Manheim Steamroller.</p>
<p>S2 was born just after Christmas and I quickly discovered that singing “Winter Wonderland” would put him to sleep every time, so it became his lullaby. Now everytime I hear it I think of walking the floor with him in the middle of the night, his little head nestled into my shoulder and him smelling so good. And I cry like a baby. He is now 16 and thinks his mother is a nut.</p>
<p>I can’t believe nobody has mentioned The 12 Days of Christmas!! That song seems to last forever and no matter who does it, it’s just irritating.</p>
<p>A victim of overplaying is Grownup Christmas List- didn’t mind it the first few times I heard it, but now I can’t turn on the radio without hearing it and it’s getting old quickly.</p>
<p>Rudolph and Frosty are also two definite least favorites.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I also love I’ll Be Home for Christmas! I listened to it over and over while I was at college right before I came home for break- it has so much more meaning now!</p>
<p>Anything off the Jackson 5 christmas album is a stomach turner.</p>
<p>My H is a Christmas baby. We spend his birthday at the Chinese restarurants, movie theater, Waffle House, and any other place that happens to be open for those of us who dont celebrate Christmas. Ther used to be a great bookstore with coffeeshop open on xmas, but they went out of business (and my H loves to hang out in bookstores) :(</p>
<p>that really really fast version of “Jingle Bells”, i think it’s a Streisand song. really bugs me.</p>
<p>what drives me nuts. ANYTHING by Manheim Steamroller or containing the word
parumpummpummpumm</p>
<p>But then anything containing the word hallelujah is so grand…</p>
<p>They don’t play that donkey song here in Toledo, thank goodness.</p>
<p>The song that bothers me is “Do they know it’s Christmas Time?”. Besides not being able to figure out the meaning, it’s a very sad song.</p>

<p>Re post #20: Is “Last Christmas” that AWFUL song that says “Last Christmas, I gave you my heart. You threw it away the very next day”? I LOATHE that song–the whole spirit of it is so anti the Christmas spirit it’s ridiculous!</p>
<p>any song (including Christmas songs) sung by Barry Manilow</p>
<p>you are right toledo, that is a depressing song.</p>
